` FIGURE WHEELED TOY.

To all whom t may concern."

Be it known that I, ANTONI MAnKmwIcz, a citizen of Poland, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Figurey lheeled Toys, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in toys and particularly to that type of toy adapted to be moved over a licor or like surface, and thereby to actuate tigural and other objects.

It is the principal object of the invention to provide a' toy of this character adapted to actuate a see-saw, a saw and a windmill, thus effectively contributing to the amusement of children.

These and other like objects are attained by the novelconstruction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a toy constructed according to the present invention, and v Fig. 2 is a side View thereof.

A frame 10 carries between its central vertical bars 10, a transverse shaft 11 in approximately the center-0f said bars, the outer ends of which are extended beyond the frame and carry large wheels 12 and 13. The upperv ends of the bars 10 support another shaft 14 which on one side is eX- tended beyond the frame and carries on its outer end a windmill or the like 14. To the outer ends of the lower bars 15 and 16 of the frame 10, smaller wheels 18 are attached for facilitating the movement of the toy over` a floor or like surface 19. To the shaft 11 a link 20 is pivotally secured to the outer ends of which a horizontal link 21 is pivoted,

Y while to the opposite end of the link 20, the

lower end of an inclined saw 22 is pivotally secured.

An upwardly directed, inclined link 23 is pivotally secured with its lower end to the free end of link 21, and to its upper end is pivoted as at 24, a pin to which the arms 25 -of a toy ligure 26 are connected which stands with its feet on a platform 27, supported on a shaft 28 intermediate the ends of link 23,

and by a hanger 28 from frame 10.

The hands of the figure 26 grasp the pivot pin 24 which is adapted to slide within aV longitudinal slot 29 of a horizontally disposed saw 3()l Spiecicatrion of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 27, 1921i.

pivoted in its center'` on shaft 14.

In the opposite end of the slot 29 of saw 30, a pin l'is sliding, the ends of which are grasped by thehands on arms 32 of a toy figure 33, standing with its feet on a platform 34 hung by a hanger 35 from the upper bar of frame 1 The upper end of the saw 22 is provided with a grip 36 in the hands of a toy figure 37 standing on platform 38 on the frame 10, and the saw 22 is moving up and down through a slot 39 of a piece of wood or board 40.

To the shaft 11 a toothed wheel 41 is secured which is in mesh with another toothed wheel 42 on shaft 14 for operating the windmill while the toy is trundled over a floor.

The toy operates as follows: l

When it is rolled over a floor, the shaft 11 will be rotated,rotating the link 20 and consequently imparting a reciprocatory, vsub.- stantially vertical motion to the saw 22 and moving the arms vof the toy figure 37 which are pivoted to its body giving it the appearance of a saw worker. The rotation of link 2O will also'operate through the connections 21, 23 of the toy figure 25, the hands of which are connected by the pin 24 sliding in slot 29 of the horizontal saw 30, so that a reciprocatory as well as a see-saw movement will be imparted to said saw and the toy ligure at the other end will be operated. Through the rotation of slot 11, also toothed wheel 4,1 will be rotated and as it is in mesh with the toothed wheel 42, it will impart to the same and to its shaft 14, a rotary movement by which` they windmill 14 will be set in motion.

Thus an interesting and highly amusing toy for children has been created which will be a source of great pleasure for the same.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

1. A toy of the character described, comprising a wheeled frame, a shaft rotatably arranged in said frame, a pair of large wheels on said shaft, and a toothed wheel on said shaft, a link on said shaft, a toy figure, a link connection pivotally secured to said link and connecting it with said toy figure, an inclined saw pivotally secured to the opposite end of said link, a toy figure adapted to be operated by said inclined saw upon the rotation of said shaft, a horizontal, slotted saw adapted to be operated by said first named toy figure upon its operation by said link connection, a second toy igure at the opposite end of said horizontal saw, a Wind-V mill, and a second gear meshing with said first named gear for operating said windmill when the toy is trundled alonga floor for the operation of said toy figures and saws.

2. In a toy of the character described, the combination of a Wheeled frame, with a slotted board longitudinally disposed in Said frame, an inclined saw operating through the slot in said board, a shaft, two large Wheels carried by said shaft, alink on saidl shaft to one end of which the lower end of said saw is pivotally secured, a toy igure at the handle of said saw,l a link cofnection pivotally secured with one of its ends to the free end of said link, a horizontally disposed slotted saw, toy gursat the ends of said horizontal saw disposed on platforms of said frame, adapted to be operated by said link connection upon the rotation of the wheels of said frame, said toy figures having their hands Aconnected by pins sliding in the slot of said horizontal saw for imparting to the same a reciprocatoryV as well as a see-saw movement, a, windmill, and means' for operating the same simultaneously with the o eration of said saw and toy figures from tllie Wheels of said frame, Y c

In testimony whereof I have affixed* my signature; Y, t
